The wage gap (in Western countries) has been proven to be a myth
In fact, in 2018 women earned more than men in part-time work (but you never, ever hear that)
As for abortion, well that's a thorny topic to say the least
Climate change has been "proven a myth" as well, most probably coming from the same think tanks. You should talk to females some time, it may widen your horizon in more than one way.
The wage gap is simply the average earnings of men and women working full time. It does not count for different job positions, hours worked or different jobs. It has nothing to do with the same job. It has nothing to do with discrimination
The real "wage gap" is the lower number of women in high paying positions, especially in fields such as science and technology. This varies country to country, but in the US at least another major factor of the wage gap statistic is that it fails to include maternity leave in the average yearly earnings of women compared to men.
I'm all for equal rights, but fighting over a null issue such as this simply detracts from the more important topics such as abortion and equal representation in developed countries.
I've whole heartedly supported this argument for years, but it just now occurred to me that if it's not a wage gap then it's an employment gap. Which affects wages albeit not in the traditionally acceptable debate format.
Workplace discrimination still exists, women choosing (I use this term loosely) low paying pink collar jobs is still a thing, and being qualified is a rabbit hole that attracts too many SJWs. There's also the matter about the whole non confrontational trait in women that prevents them from asking for better or higher pay (alleged)
It's not alleged
All the relevant scientific literature indicates that women are more agreeable on average than men
What's more is that it's the same or similar cross-culturally
Which seems to indicate that the cause is biological, rather than social or cultural

Ya, as if there was any indication that traditionally disesteem of women might be occurring "cross-culturally". Your cartoonishly misogynic ideas seem to indicate your problem is biological.
Are we talking the West?
Or the Middle East?
